Get away from the cities while staying within 15 miles of Fayetteville
With a rural landscape primarily made up of residential properties, Elm Springs offers a quiet way of life to homebuyers who want the convenience of living in Northwest Arkansas without living in one of the major cities. “It’s a small, quaint town with Lake Elmdale as one of the top attractions,” says Mandy Nickell, Executive Broker and Senior Vice President of Lindsey & Associates, who works in the area. “It’s conveniently located between all four major cities of Northwest Arkansas.” The city of roughly 2,500 people is just west of Springdale and about 13 miles north of Fayetteville. Residents here enjoy proximity to the cities while being able to come home to quiet streets and scenic countryside at the end of the day.
Enjoy life from the front porch of a large, rustic farmhouse
Most homes in Elm Springs are ranch-style houses or farmhouses on large lots, adding to the area’s rural feel. Homes often have spacious front porches where residents set up rocking chairs and can sit outside to enjoy a nice evening. There are some subdivisions in the area with newer homes that incorporate farmhouse features, such as aluminum siding and wood beams. These houses typically have built-in garages and are relatively close to their neighbors but still have plenty of room in the yards for a game of catch. A three-bedroom new construction home will cost between $450,000 and $500,000. A four or five-bedroom house in Elm Springs can cost anywhere from $600,000 to $1 million, depending on the size of the lot.

Head east to Springdale or hop on I-49 to get around Northwest Arkansas
Elm Springs residents have an easy time commuting throughout Northwest Arkansas. “It’s a really convenient location. It’s not far from the airport going one way. It’s not far from the interstate heading the other way,” says Nickell. Interstate 49 along the city’s east side gives residents an easy start to a commute throughout the region. Northwest Arkansas International Airport is about 7 miles northwest of the city. Residents can quickly get to any of the Tyson Foods locations in Springdale, about 7 miles east of the city along Elm Springs Road.

Take to the water at Lake Elmdale for fishing and fun

Residents can bring their racket for a game of tennis or cast a line in one of the fishing ponds. The park also has two playgrounds, a splash pad and outdoor exercise equipment.
